I got closer and he was gobbling and strutting all through the shack including the front porch. When he strutted into the back room I slipped up to the shack and shot him through the front door. Given time and no pressure they will be nesting in your front yard. They make pretty good pets. For whom the bell tolls? Answer: Look in a mirror

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted..... proud Cracker-Americaan muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one

Given time and no pressure they will be nesting in your front yard. They make pretty good pets. I've seen several on hay bales, but I've never shot one that was inside a house. That's pretty cool! Jeff Foxworthy said you might be a redneck if you have ever shot a deer from inside your house. I'm not sure what he would say if you've ever shot a turkey IN a house. All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
